There is at least one case where the empty() function is very useful - it is when you have
operations on an array. Imagine that you are storing data in an array, adding and unsetting elements
- the quick method of checking if anything is left in an array is simply checking if empty($array)
is FALSE (note that key_exists() works only if you check for the specific key)
